- Repair Install Fails
- Posted by Gerald Fay on December 6th, 2005
Moving from an Asus Intel based MB to an Asus AMD board (939 with dual
core). Tried moving the hard drive to the new system and doing a repair
install. All seems to go well until reboot time with the Install CD out then
a quick blue screen, which I cannot read.
Suggestions besides a complete reinstall?
Thanks

Windows XP doesn't take well to changing the motherboard because the chipset,
etc., is different.
Instead of repair install, I would have changed all of the drivers to the
standard Windows XP drivers and then installed the new board. Or started up
in Safe Mode and deleted all of the devices that will be different in the
Device Manager and then installed the new board.
But since you have already done a repair install you probably will have to
perform a clean installation.

Fortunately, I've been "around the block" with computer systems, and in fact
did not try the repair on the original disk, but an Acronis Image.
Any suggestions on which device drivers to change?
IDE ?
USB ?
Video ?
Also do you think this will work going from Intel to AMD?
Also in my reading I've seen some indications that if before the motherboard
change you set the IDE driver back to the Standard, repair install may then
work. Is this true?
Thanks

Boot into Safe Mode, Right click My Copmuter, Properties, Advanced,
Startup and Recovery, uncheck Automatically restart. Reboot, the blues
screen will persist, write down the entire error and post it.

A repair install is the way to update the OS for a new motherboard. What
you would've done was wasted a lot of time and still had to do a repair
install when it wa all over.
There's no need for a clean install a this point. It's most likely a
driver or hardware issue and once the BSOD error is determined then a
course of action can be decided.
